“Housing finance authorities with limited resources are under more pressure than ever to provide programs and services to meet affordable housing needs,” said Gottfried Sehringer, vice president of marketing for Mendix. “We look forward to hearing their business challenges at the NCSHA conference and exploring ways Mendix technology can help them create apps to accelerate their processes and better serve their constituents.”
